"I am convinced I would make a lot more money than the Bengals," Jones said, via AP. "I'm completely against each team doing TV deals. It is flawed."



Jones could have compared his money-making machine to any NFL team in a smaller market -- really any NFL team at all. Instead, he chose the Bengals. Why? Pro Football Talk mentions that Jones and Bengals owner Mike Brown have a "longstanding feud" when it comes to revenue sharing.

He's jealous we have Joe..Joe is a one man revenue stream for the Brown family. Heck! He's a big star at the Paris fashion show. Even the old Cowboy stars of yesteryear didn't do that.

there's always some bad officiating whenever the cowboys play cincy

Ol Jerry Jones, the guy that by himself was able to destroy what should've been the best run in the history of the NFL. He should've had 5 or 6 championships in an 8 year period. But he fired the one good football decision he's ever made because of his narcissism.

I'm not sure he "destroyed" them. Jones is a good owner in the sense, he cares, a lot about winning. Does he meddle too much, yes, but he's a good owner and he's a huge reason as to why the NFL is today what it is from a revenue perspective. And he's a 100% self made man. Unlike people such as Mike Brown, and other second and third generation NFL owners who have been happy to just sit back and collect their check at the end of the year.

Yeah, agree with this. I don't like the guy but he is pretty good at what he does and is a self made man. He has made mistakes like every
owner does. Just cannot stand the Cowboys and what he says here doesn't irk me as a Bengal fan. The FO as a whole has gotten better 
since Mikey Boy has taken a step back, but there is a long way to go and we were very blessed to get Joe Burrow who gives us automatic
respect just by himself.

Not 1 billionaire is self made. Once you hire employees you are no longer self made. Once you invest you are not self made. So tired of this narrative. His wealth was from investments right? A farmer that's off the grid that gets nothing from town is self made.

Not a chance. The NFL got Free Agency (1993) in Jimmy Johnson's last year and a Salary Cap (1994) the year after that.

It took a year or two for contracts to expire and salary caps to tighten down a bit, but there's a reason the Cowboys and the 49ers both haven't won a SB since 1995 despite winning 6 of the 8 prior to then, and it's not because of Jimmy Johnson.

It does seem odd that he called out the Bengals specifically, as according to statista.com, the Bengals pulled in more television viewership than all the following teams in 2023:
- Ravens
- Patriots
- Steelers
- Broncos
- Browns
- Bucs
- Jags
- Colts
- Rams
- Saints
- Panthers
- Titans (only 7.7 million viewers)

Bengals had 16.34 million viewers.

Cowboys were top at 25.18 million followed by Commanders, Eagles, 49ers, Chiefs, and Lions all above 20 mill.

Yep, odd alright.

The Bengals are a fun team to watch even with Jake Browning they were fun to watch. Burrow is prime time TV though, arguably the best QB in 
the NFL besides Mahomes. Burrow should just get better too with a better OL and some more explosive weapons added in Gesicki and Burton.

Cannot stand watching the Cowboys. I don't understand how anyone could be a fan of that team unless they lived in Dallas...

Even then, I couldn't do it lol

Bad take my guy. Who took the risk? Who leveraged his and his families future? The Billionaire. Not the employee. Did he have HELP? Absolutely and I'm sure he's compensated those who did help him VERY well. And making money of investments IS risky. Very risky but it's also smart. 

The farmer off the grid is also self made, in his own way. But not trying to become a billionaire. 

I have employees, who I pay very well for the work they provide. My company couldn't operate without them. But they aren't the ones signing the paychecks and taking the risk managing the cash flows and deciding what levers to pull and when. That's me.

Took the risk? That's self made? That's insane. That's like saying that Elon is self made or Jeff Bozos is self made. The vast majority of wealth is generational wealth, get outta here with that sh!t. Risk is not self made. Maybe a guy starting his own plumbing business or a carpenter, but once you hire employees you are no longer self made. You have money? You sound like all the other rich people & their propaganda. Carnegie was self made? Rockefeller? Vanderbilt? None of them did the work, they were just the money. Without workers & the people buying the goods they are nothing. Who's more important to the economy, rich people or the workers & consumers?

It takes both. The workers don't have the vision or the skill to build what those you just listed did. Wealthy men and women create jobs. 

You sound like a government worker or someone who enjoys Karl Marx.

Also, do I have money? I mean I can pay my bills and my employees. But most of my profits I invest back into my business so I can grow and hire more people. I'm certainly not a billionaire or even a millionaire (maybe on paper I am?) but I've got employees that make more than me in any given year. I actually took a massive pay cut to go into business for myself last year. However, I'm hopefully growing something that will last generations.

You Cleary don't have what it takes to run a small business. And that's okay, it takes all types.

Sorry, but this is one of the worst takes I've read around here on anything.
As for Jerry Jones, he still struggles under the illusion Dallas is "America's Team". Heck, they aren't even Texas' team anymore.
